The Neches and Trinity Valleys Groundwater Conservation District met August 20 to discuss groundwater matters for Anderson Cherokee and Henderson Counties. During the meeting, the board considered a wall application requesting a waiver of Rule Eight, spacing less than 50 feet from property line.

This request was denied by the district, the only agenda item not approved in the meeting. If approved, the well would have been placed in the northwestern area of the city of Neches.

Multiple items were passed by the district. These include:

• Minutes for the June 18, 2009 board meeting and payment of bills for June 18 through August 20.

• Approval of revisions to the 2009 management plan. Significant revisions were made to the plan, which must be revised a minimum of every five years. Most of the changes were on the state end, though some minor alterations were made to the district’s role in the plan.

• Action on Resolution R-08202009 relating to the 2009 management plan.

• Well application for the city of Chandler in Henderson County. This well will be placed on the west side of Lake Palestine.

• Approval of the district’s drought contingency plan.

No action was taken on the financial mangement officer’s investment report; the board simply received the report.

The next district board meeting will be September 17. There will be a 12:01 pm workshop to discuss upcoming agenda items and other issues. If necessary, a public hearing will precede the main business meeting at 1:30 pm.
